Diwali 2014

Diwali, meaning ‘festival of lights’, is one of the most widely celebrated occasions in the year. Diwali is observed not only by Hindus but also by Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs. The central theme for Hindus is derived from the epic Ramayana, but the festival also marks the traditional New Year’s Eve.

Diwali is celebrated with elaborate firework displays, candles and lamps. Join us at Bhaktivedanta Manor for a colourful stage show with drama and traditional dance and of course, a spectacular fireworks display at 6.30pm that will have every face turned towards the skies.

Generates very bad congestion and issues for the villagers who live next door to us

Means cars that are parked outside of the temple may be liable to be removed by the authorities

Immediately after the fireworks display there will be Dharshan, prasadam served in the tent and a play by the Bhaktivedanta players will be performed.
We advise waiting for a while after the fireworks to avoid being caught in traffic at the same time.
